Topic: High Gear, Low RPM Shuddering (Read 1301 times)

Hey guys, a good friend of mine picked up a B5 Passat for his daughter (super-clean). It's a 1.8TM.

In 4th and 5th gears when the car drops to about 2K RPM the car starts shuddering really bad like the clutch is slipping. The car exhibits no other problems around town or on the highway. It runs just fine. Any thoughts?

I haven't had a chance to drive it yet but will later today. I might run some diags and see if anything is amiss but was hoping you guys had some thoughts. Neither of my cars ever had symptoms like this.
